[Coinbase CEO: Stock trading service launched on a small scale, plans to open to all customers within weeks] According to Fortune, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the company has launched traditional stock trading services for a small group of users and plans to open it to all customers within weeks, with backend support provided by Apex Fintech Solutions. This initiative is part of its strategy to build an 'everything exchange,' which will include various asset classes in the future, such as prediction markets, in addition to traditional stocks. Armstrong mentioned that Coinbase will initially offer regular stock trading and later focus on promoting on-chain native tokenized equities that correspond one-to-one with real shares and come with dividend and voting rights. However, its implementation still depends on reaching consensus with regulatory bodies like the SEC on accounting and rule details.
